Hello Jerry,
Havent checked out the patch yet, but I've just listened to the Mpeg
example...
What can I say? You complete genius, this is exactly what I needed!!!
The precise sound in my head more or less, I'll examine your sound &
personalise it to my own taste...
Big Thanks, Big Thanks
(BTW you dont know any good resources on the web on Playing
techniques do you?)
Thanks once again

> - accented attack (pitch envelope) on the Z ribbon
> - You can brighten the sound to taste with knob # 5
